An Oregon senator warned of the threat of martial law as he condemned Trump's deployment of federal agents in Portland and other cities

An Oregon senator said the US is facing the threat of martial law while approaching November's presidential election. He slammed US President Donald Trump's deployment of federal agents in Portland and other cities.

Ron Wyden, a Democrat, told The Guardian that "Unless America draws a line in the sand right now, I think we could be staring down the barrel of martial law in the middle of a presidential election."

And he warned that such a situation would mean "trashing the constitution and trashing people's individual rights."

Martial law is when the military takes control of law enforcement and civil rights are suspended.

No, it's not just a campaign stunt. And this is the beginning of a push against any restraints on executive power. There's plenty more of this ahead.

They are placing the secret police to create the violence needed for his fucked up re-election. They are hoping this maneuver will replace COVID-19 where approx. 146,000 dead and still rising. Law and order will replace children being sent back to school, wherein danger exits for them as well as teachers and staff, and their families.

shithole's campaign thinks law and order will replace unemployment status where finding jobs is difficult and to date the government may not even supplement lost wages.

treason barr, DHS, WH and shithole are attacking Americans on the street.
